Best beer in Bend
After spending a day and a half rimming the Crater Lake caldera, I'm in Bend for the day seeking beer recommendations. I'm still an IPA-drinking cretin, so no cider or other bullshit.
Thoughts?

@YellowSnow is not an IPA connoisseur.
Bend Brewing had the best hazy IPA when I was there which surprised me a little because they're the old dog, but that was my experience. Good Life also has kick ass hazy IPAs, and you cannot go wrong at Crux.

@BleachedAnusDawg thanks, this is helpful. We had Crux on our list of top 3 finalists, along with Crosscut and Sunriver. These were recommended by a friend of a friend, which is why I was skeptical and sought more tim.

Crux for the win. Thanks again.

Drank a bunch of those blood oranges IPA's at Boneyard and then short drive to see IT II in the theater that had beers from everywhere.
I liked Silver Moon (Silver something) a lot as well that was downtown.
Right now, drinking some Block15 Octoberfest out of Corvallis.

Crux, Bend Brewing, Boneyard are the top 3 for IPA drinking but I also like weird shit like sours which Ale Apothecary is great for.

I’m going to our local gay ass McMenamins next week in honor of @haie
-
I consume plenty of IPA because there is no alternative. I just wish there was more options for lower IBUs pale ales which I prefer. I’ll dinks Mannys all day long over Bohdi, for example.

I'll also admit that I go to 10 Barrel on the West Side about 20 x vs going the Crux. Crux is over in shitty industrial real estate by the freeway where as 10 Barrel is like a mile from my house.
@pawz and @DerekJohnson have both dined with me at 10 Barrel but they are clean living, so no cold ones.
@Tequilla have met up for beers at Deschutes in Downtown, but I don't buy their beer as much. Mirror Pond Pale just doesn't taste the way is once did for me.
@BleachedAnusDawg was too intimidated to come drink beers with the Big DAWGS!!
Had to go to a MAGA Redmond Trailer Park to drink cheap Kirkland Sig beers with @LebamDawg

You aren't that TedOnDucks ass maggot, are you?

Lol, who the hell is that?

The Sunriver chocolate stout is tough to beat.
